Champions League - Knockout Stage 1st Round

If he gets stuck out on the right he will be up and down all game.

I am assuming that we play a 4-4-2 of course, which i doubt we will. More like a 4-5-1/4-3-3.

I'd play 4-4-2 and drop Alonso. We'll need to come racing out of the blocks at Anfield and Alonso's game is a slower one.

For the Nou Camp, go 4-5-1 with SG as the advanced CM and Xabi and Momo sitting deep.

i would agree with that but I can't remember the last time alonso was dropped, which in a way you can understand, with his passing range he can set up quick counters.

Sheik Mohammed El Ratata or whatever, must stand up and be counted. He has to finance the requisition of Ronaldinho, Eto'ó, Deco and Messi.

Sky Sports reporter mentioned about today's Press Conference and how he'd be in the front row, asking all the questions about Barcelona...

It's a press conference about the Charlton game, you bellend...

Can't wait to hear Rafa bat those questions out of the park.

"Sure there are many possibilities and we will try to do a good game, but all we are thinking about is the next game"

[Resu]

Rafa will be really fired up for this one, being a ex-Real.

[Colemere]

He is probably fired up for most of our games. He wants to win them all I would imagine.

[El Diego]

I am starting to well look forward to it now. I think we can do them.

[Bari]

Come On Lads, they got Eidur Gudjohnson there doommed (Laughs in a insane way)

[Slim]

I'm looking forward to Xabi welcoming fat lad Gudjohnson back to England with a good kick up the hole......the diving cnut!

[Craig_H]

Gudjohnsen will most likely not play.

FYI, for those who are tipping us to prevail, we've now gone right out to 28/1 to win the CL

[brikkis]

It's an exciting draw, a compelling draw a fascinating draw....

It's not a 'good' draw.

I thinks it's a good draw. Get the difficult ones out of the way first.

For me Rafa will tactically have this one well sewn up

[blacky]

What a game to look forward to and Barca is a crackin city.........time to start the search for tickets :-)

[Bari]

Whats the worst they could do bring on E'to?
We'll have them! I'm not being optimistic.
I'm being honest.
